Instant Pot Shrimp Boil: An Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, deveined and peeled
– 1 pound smoked sausage (e.g., Andouille), sliced
– 2 ears of corn, cut into halves
– 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
– 2 cups chicken broth or water


Instructions

Creating this delicious Instant Pot Shrimp Boil is easy! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Cut the corn into halves and slice the sausage.
2. Sauté the Sausage: Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until browned.
3. Add Corn: Add the halved corn into the pot and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Season and Add Liquid: Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning over the corn and sausage. Pour in the chicken broth or water, stirring to combine.
5. Add Shrimp: Carefully place the shrimp on top of the mixture in the pot. Avoid stirring, as you want the shrimp to steam rather than cook through.
6. Pressure Cook: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is set to sealing. Select “Pressure Cook” for 5 minutes.
7. Natural Release: When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn the valve to “venting” to release any remaining pressure.
8. Serve: Once the pressure is fully released, open the lid and gently stir to combine the shrimp, corn, and sausage before serving.

By following these simple instructions, you’ll create a stunning dish that showcases the flavors of a classic shrimp boil.
